[SBU Board] IN

[Susan Cothern]

I too received lots of positive comments about the venue and the earlier
starting times.  Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make this
tournament a success, especially Patti McCallum and Ann Romeo.  And as Ann
stated, Nick was awesome, the perfect director for this tournament.

Patti and Sharon looked at one of the larger rooms on campus for a possible
future sectional but I am not sure what the result of that visit was.
Great location, lots of parking, college staff was great to work with.

As a side note, there was some initial concern about the church down the
hall possibly being too loud on Sunday morning.  I didn't hear any
complaints and the only time you really noticed the singing was when you
visited the restrooms.  When the door to the hallway was kept closed I
don't think it was an issue.
